How
Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone in the body to help regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It works by activating areas in the brain responsible for hunger and satiety (feelings of fullness), helping you feel full with smaller portions and reducing overeating.

This treatment involves a once-weekly injection that can be administered at home or in the clinic, depending on your preference. With consistent use, Semaglutide potentially helps promote gradual, sustainable weight loss, paired with guidance to support your overall health goals

What To Expect During
Your Appointment

At Brisk Wellness, your first appointment begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Your board-certified physician will discuss your weight management goals, review your medical history, and determine if Semaglutide is the best option for you.

If Semaglutide is recommended, we will explain how to administer the injections at home and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. You also have the option of receiving injections in person at our clinic. 

Regular follow-up visits will track your progress and adjust the treatment as needed. These appointments also include ongoing support for diet and exercise changes to help you get the most from your treatment.

Potential
Side Effects

Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals might experience:

  • Mild nausea or upset stomach, especially at the start of treatment
  • Temporary fatigue or dizziness
  • Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation

We will address any side effects and make adjustments to help keep you comfortable throughout
the process.

Semaglutide FAQs - Brisk Wellness in Palm Harbor

Is Semaglutide safe for weight loss?

At Palm Harbor, every patient benefits from a personalized Semaglutide treatment plan built around their individual weight loss goals. We assess your lifestyle, including food choices, exercise habits, and overall health, to develop a treatment regimen tailored to your specific needs.

Through regular monitoring and adjustments, we ensure that Palm Harbor patients experience consistent progress and achieve their ideal weight loss outcomes.

The FDA has approved Semaglutide for weight loss in Palm Harbor for adults 18 years and older who have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or more and who also have a weight-related condition such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, Palm Harbor residents with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher may qualify for Semaglutide even if they do not have any accompanying medical conditions.

However, those in Palm Harbor who have been diagnosed with gallbladder disease, multiple endocrine neoplasia Type-2 syndrome, or thyroid cancer are not considered suitable candidates for Semaglutide. A medical consultation can determine whether this treatment is right for you based on your individual health profile.

Results with Semaglutide often become noticeable within the first few weeks, with progressive weight loss continuing for months. Since everyone’s body and weight loss goals are different, your experience may not mirror someone else’s, as various factors can influence individual progress.

Age, body weight, lifestyle choices, and overall health all contribute to the effectiveness of Semaglutide. Many patients report successful weight loss and improvements in A1C levels within a few weeks, but individual outcomes will depend on multiple personal factors.

These injections are done once weekly, and we’ll make sure you’re completely comfortable with the process. Whether you prefer receiving them in the clinic or self-administering at home, we’ve got you covered. Your first injection will be given in the clinic so we can guide you through the technique, answer any questions, and ensure you’re at ease. You also have the flexibility to choose your injection site—options include your thigh, abdomen, or upper arm—so you can find what works best for you.

If you miss a dose, contact us for instructions on how to proceed. Consistency with the injections is key to achieving optimal results.

Semaglutide is designed to support weight loss, but its full benefits are realized when paired with a nutritious diet and consistent physical activity. We offer guidance on lifestyle modifications that will enhance your treatment results. Maintaining a well-balanced diet and incorporating movement into your daily life will help you reach your desired weight and sustain it well into the future.

Semaglutide treatment may come with mild side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, constipation, or temporary abdominal discomfort. While these are common, they are typically manageable and can often be avoided by following your prescribed regimen.

To help your body adjust, treatment starts at a controlled dose of 0.25 mg. This initial phase ensures that the medication is well-tolerated before increasing the dosage. Based on your progress and how your body responds, your dose may be gradually raised up to 2.4 mg, allowing you to gain the full benefits of Semaglutide while minimizing potential side effects.

The timeframe for Semaglutide treatment varies for each patient, as it is influenced by several personal factors. Your plan is created with a focus on your weight loss goals, lifestyle, and any barriers to success. Throughout your journey, we will closely track your progress and make modifications to the dosage or duration of your treatment to ensure the best possible outcome. Some individuals see results sooner, while others may require a more extended approach for long-term success.

During your consultation, we will assess your weight loss objectives, provide a general timeframe, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment based on your progress.
